This is the Ritz-Carlton of Atlanta’s dine-in theaters. It’s by far the most polished and most adult. In fact, it has the stiffest age restrictions. Those under 21 are only permitted entry when accompanied by someone over that age, and only before 6 p.m. Location: 1004 Town Blvd., Brookhaven. 404-333-0740.

Movie Tavern has three locations in the metro area and two of those (Roswell and Suwanee) offer in-theater dining. The Northlake location has counter service in the lobby and food can be taken into the show.

This is the most kid-friendly dine-in theater, with special showings and events for families. In addition to standard American grill fare, the children’s menu offers grilled chicken tenders and fruit-for-fries substitutions. You have a choice of two northside locations.

This is the movie dining experience you most likely expect, with fried foods and breads dominating the menu. It’s where you go to get loaded potato skins, mozzarella sticks, chicken quesadillas and pizza. You also can order larger entrees and substantial desserts.
